Im going to camp this summer and?

Im going to be in marching band. i start band camp in the summer. whats it going to be like?

  • i am very excited but nervous at the same time. im going to be a sophomore and i started playing the flute last year. my instructor has ensured me i am ready so we both agreed upon that. but im just really nervous because i don't no how to march and alot of these kids have been marching since 7th grade. but i really waant to do this. what will it band camp be like in general? me and my friend who started the flute with me, we always joke around with american pie the movie. we always say "this one time at band camp" its just halarious. i honestly believe i will have fun. but if anyone can just maybe give me a heads up about somethings. i cant wait. also if there are any suggestions to help get me ready before hand. things that i could do on my own i would gladly appreciate it thanks.

    i marched flute my freshman year, and it was the best thing ive done. you will not regret it. well now im a sophomore and i did drumline this year, and i miss marching flute sometimes. you'll learn a lot of things and make new friends. its a great experience. :) ps. band camp is going to be hot and a lot of work, but you'll be fine. it'll all be worth it when you go out and win things!

Marching band is a cool experience. You will learn a lot of things, I learned discipline. Band Camp is really cool. It'll be long days but overall its worth it. Sometimes marching time will be the greatest things to do and some days you can't stand it. but all and all if you keep with it, at the end of the season you'll be glad that you did it. Ask a experienced marching band person if they can teach you the basics before camp. That way you can be a head of the beginners. Remember that the drum major is in control. Sometimes drum majors can become a bit bypolar but its easy to zone out. Fun things to do at band camp. (yeah the one time at band camp comes up a lot) If theres a person who can't shut their mouth, I've taped their hands on their mouth and then on top of that we locked them in the band locker. But we forgot the locker combination so we had to cut the lock. That was really funny We have a trailer where we keep the drum major stand, drum set and etc. Anyway some freshman were going into the trailer to get something, we closed up the door. It was really funny to hear them, freshmen can really cuss. If its hot enough outside, bring a egg and crack it on the pavement. Some important commands that if not done later in season will drive DM insane -When you are called to any command be loud. Remember in marching band your PROUD of what you do. -when called to attention, keep that position don't fiddle, you may not think its not noticeable but from the drum major's position its noticeable -Have FUN band people pull pranks be prepared

Everywhere is different. But be prepared to march! Its a lot of time out in the sun, so make sure you cover your shoulders. Theyll have water, but bringing a bottle is probably a smart idea. Sneakers, are a must! And try not to wear white, I always got dirty. Good luck!

wear sunblock and have lots of water it will be very hot besides the heat band camp is fun.

if you can't wait, someone LIED to you! I heard that band camp is Torture, my sister threw up at band camp, my band directors (High and Middle) have bets on who's going to pass out and who's going to throw up. Don't drink milk, unless you want to throw up and it look like butter
